Party IV

"The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks. . . [Censorship of the news] is a given in wartime, along with massive campaigns of deliberately-planted "Dis-information". That is routine behavior in Wartime--for all countries and all combatants — and it makes life difficult for people who value real news."
--Hunter S. Thompson,
"When War Drums Roll" (September 17, 2001)
